  • Title: Hypopituitarism secondary to transfacial gunshot wound.
    Author: D'Angelica M, Barba CA, Morgan AS, Dobkin ED, Pepe JL.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1995 Oct; 39(4):768-71. PubMed ID: 7473974.
    Abstract:
    Hypopituitarism secondary to penetrating head trauma is extremely rare, and its diagnosis may be delayed for several years. We present a patient who developed hypopituitarism secondary to a transfacial gunshot wound and who experienced damage to the hypophysis secondary to transmission of energy and bullet fragments. The importance of a computerized tomographic scan of the head in facial gunshot wound is discussed.
